A False RumOr.

The report that the stamps of the
Santiago mill are hung up on &C
count of a lack of water in the
Carson River, is incorrect. There
is a volume of water now flowing
between the banks sufficient to
drive four times the number of
stamps in the Santiago. The mill
has been shut down for repairs.
1t Is to early in the season for the
river to be effected by irrigatinR
bitches to such an extent as to me-
cessitate the closing down of the
mills. This generally takes place
in July or August, when the river
is very low.

TWExry-sEyEN QUARTS.
"fs2aek Queen" Stili FacreasinG
lEn,. MIX Record.

| Her MIX Record.
Yesterday the fact was published
in the APPEAL that BLACK Queen
the Holstein thoroughbred yielded
% quarts of milk in one day. Several
parties have intimated pretty
strongly that COW SO young could
not produce such a yield. Since
that publication the COW increased
her yield to q quarts per day.
When the cow was brought to Car
son three years ago it was nearly a
heifer and taking the advice Of ex-
perienced breeders of that stock the
owner made no effort to "crowd
her into making a milk record.
This year, her third milking season,
she is being crowded for a milk
record.
The writer introduced these ami
mails into Ormsby County to afford
dairymen an opportunity of Kidding
their corrals of un profitable scrub
stock. The same amount of feed
that will keep scrub stock poor and
yielding a small quantity of milk
will keep a Holstein cow fat and
making a big milk record all the
year round. The i'm Of the dairy
man is to get the biggest possible
amount of milk out of given num-
Der of cows and given amount of
feed,
Twenty seven quarts of milk a
day is worth, at 10 cents a quart,
50 20, in 30 days it is worth $8l 90
With such COWS there is no neces-
sity of adulteratin g milk with water,
in order to make it pay. The Hol-
stein cow can be MIXED right
through the year, not falling off
after three or four months, Such
a COW will average 20 quarts a day
for ten months in the year and this
is low estimate 600 quarts a
month, 6,0G0 quarts a year, at ten
cents a quart, this is 5000. Say it
costs 800 to feed her for a year,
there is profit of $500 left. Now
this is low estimate on an ordl-
nary Holstein cow. 6.000 quarts of
milk will weigh about 1900 10, yet
the big Holstein records show rs,
Geo 10 year, or more than double
the estimate made here. A scrub
COW is doing we'll that clears its
owner 800 a year. and many simply
eat their heads off. A man with
20 scrub cows will make money
selling them to the butcher and
getting eight thoroughbreds in
their places.
In spite of all assertions to the
contrary the richness of the Hol-
stein milk is beyond dispute: The
cry that such a quantity of milk
cannot be rich is met by tho butter
records of the Holstein all over the
country.
Mercedes" yielded 99fbs Of but
ter in 80 days. A herd of 80 Hol
stein cows in New Jersey averaged
S0fbs Of butter a month apiece,
Parties interested in knowing more
of the milk and butter qualities of
the breed are invited to call at the
Holstein Ranch and put in a day
thoroughly investigating the smat-
ter. Such callers will always be
welcome and every opportunity
given them to satisfy themselves
regarding the yield of such COWS
and the quality of their milk.

Stop Costly Funerals.

The Protestant Episcopal ministers of the
diocese of New York have organized an as
sociation to promote burial reform and
Bishop Potter, who is at the head of the
movement urged all religious denomina
tions 10 take active measures 10 break up
the present costly, oppressive and senseless
expenditure ut funerals.
In no way does vulgarity expose itself
in such hideous forms rs in the attempt Mt
pomp and display in the house of mourning
and when it is remembered that in "a very
large majority of cases the expense of tEis
vulgarity must be covered either by the Sc
verest self-denial or by unpaid debts, what
possible excuse can there be for its contin-
uance ?
Ii is Idle to ask the poorer and less intell-
igent to dispense with pomp and needless
cost at funerals while those who are more
intelligent and able TO bear expense persist
in it. Indeed, there is much excuse for the
poor and rhe ignorant. bnt there is none for
the intelligent and opulent. The poor, as
n rule, ARE stronger in their domestic affection
than those whose daily social life is more
ditfused, and they feel that they owe it TO
their dead to initiate rs far as possible the
display and ceremonies of those TO whom
expense is not n matter of moment
The really intelligent and sincere portion
of most communities now seek to make fu-
nerals rs simple and inexpensive rs can be
done with propriety. They do it because
they understand that their dead loved ones
should be kept sacred from vulgar gaze as
we'll as from vulgar ostentation in funeral
ceremonies but there are yet many whose
intelligence should teach them better,
whose funeral occasions are ostentatious 10
n degree that only vulgarity can properly
express it.
Especially should ministers of every faith
protest against the needless cost and the
vulgarity of pompous funerals. All such
IDEAS are simply relics of b .rbarism ; they
offend every attribute of sincere love and
reverence for the dead they sadly oppress
the poor they as sadly vulgarize the rich,
and they should be pronounced against
from every pulpit Indeed, all funerals,
except of those who command the homage
of State or nation should be severely sim-
pie and the circle of attendants should be
severely limited to the sincere offices of af-
fection. All else is vain show, a vulgar ex-
posure of the dead a needless oppression
of the poor, and an offense against good
taste and public propriety.-Phild. Sunday

Rev. J. G. Butler. lie asked that the
senators might be endowed with wis.
dom and strength to meet the honora-
ble aad trying responsibilities of the
day and all the duties that gather a.
round them. The president Of the
senate, Mr.. Ingals, then took the chair
and called the senate TO order, He said
he would now place before the senate
his certificate of election, the certificate
Of appointment, and other papers re-
ceived since the adjournment.
In the swearing in Of senator's elect.
Senator Hoar made objection to the ad'
ministration of the oath to Mr.. Faulk-
ner, of West Virginia, until certain
questions to which his credentials gave
rise could be passed upon by the COM
mittee on privileges aud elections. AS
member of that committee he AS.
sured the senate that the matter should
receive the immediate attention OF that
committee so that IL the gentleman was
found to bs entitled to his seat, he
could enter upon his duties without
unnecessary delay.
IN THE HOUSE.
Long before the hour of noon the
galleries Of the house were crowded TO
their utmost capacity with spectators
drawn together To witness the opening
scenes nf new congress. The ladies
were in the majority, and their gay
costumes lent an air Of animation to
the chamber. On the floor members
congregated and exchanged greetings
and congratulations. There were very {. W
floral decorations upon the desks of
members, though Congressman. Il, J.
Campbell, of New York, was favored
with horseshoe of loses and carha-
tions, the gift of the Oriental club, OF
New York.
At noon the clerk Of the house called
the body to order, aud was about TO
call the roll when crank in the gallery
started a salvation army hymn. which
he sang Justify until elected by door
keeper, which was not until several
minutes had elapsed, as the crowd i'm
peded the officer in his attempt TO
reach the musician.
The clerk then proceeded with the
roll call amid good deal of confusion,
caused by gentlemen renewing old ac-
quaintances or forming new ones amid
much talk and laughter. The pages
were kept busy carrying belated bou'
quets and floral designs to the proper
recipients.

The Holiday Trade as n Barometer of
the Times,


The philadelphia Times Of Saturday says
that the holiday trade is now fairly opened
and the signs are uumistakable that IL will
be the largest ever known in that city. The
merchants are fully prepared for it, and the
public are fully prepared to buy more lib
orally than ever before and pay more
promptly than usual
The holiday season is the unerring barom-
varied business of the country. When in
dustry is we'll reQuited and capital fairly
rewarded they prove their prosperity by the
liberality they exhibit in the holiday season
II il the time when the heart goes out gen.
erously for the household gods of every
happy home, and where circumstances will
warrant it, there are always gladdened
loved ones in every domestic circle
When seasons of adversity come, the
holiday trade suffers more than any other
branch of business. Holiday articles are
not necessities ; they are among the luxuries
of life the most commendable of all
its holiday luxuries which are enjoyed with
all the zest of the most opulent of the land,
and often with measure Of qualification
that is unknown in the homes where the en-
tire absence of want creates safety. Such
are not 10 be euvied, but rather pitied.
Let us not borrow trouble, but rather en-
joy the general prosperity that prevails
throughout all business circles, and have n
Happy holiday season. The garners of the
Juntry are full To overtiowing labor is
generally employed at better wages than
ever known considering the cost of living
capital is reasonably rewarded in all legiti-
mate enterprise the people are more free
from debt than nj any time during the last
quarter Of century, and there is every
reason why there should he the largest holi-
day trade and the best holiday enjoyment of
the present generation.

PoLITICs in France were running
high for the past few weeks and up
to last Saturday when the crisis was
satisfactorily passed by the election of
Sadi. .Carnot, as president ofthe French
Republic, vice Grevy resigned The
people IN Paris were particularly alarm
ed at the ominous look of things about
the time Grevy resigned, which was on
the memorable End of December and
which threatened to be black Fri
day. The movement of the revolution
ary factions, the Blanquists, Anarchists,
Socialists and Workingmen, were
watched with much anxiety, IS an
outbreak was expected at almost any
time. Excitement was at fever-heat
and riots had taken place in several
parts of the city. But on Saturday
the country held its breath end all the
hopes and fears centered on Versailles
where the national congress met for
the purpose of electing a new presl-
dent. At about four O'Clock in the
afternoon the Speaker of the house
announced the result of the electoral
college and the news of Sadi- Carnot's
election was hailed with wild enthusi-
asm. Paris and the country are again
quiet and peaceful and seem, at least
for the time being, well contented with
their new president. A correspondent
to the Sunday Times, Philadelphia,
in commenting upon the election,
writes: The National Congress held
to-day in the Palace of Versailles
proves that France is herself again,
and following in the footsteps of the
American Republic. 1t also proves
that the French Republic is now no
longer in her swaddling CLOTHES, but
has attained her majority. The cleo
tion of Sadi- -Carnot is the outcome of
sound, common sense and patriotism
of the French Republicans. 1t is not
q victory of auy faction. 1t is the firm
deliberate resolve TO maintain and ac-
centuate the dignity and strength of
the First Magistrate of the nation.

MEETING OF CONGRESS.
Lively Scenes at the Opening Of both
Houses.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The senate
chamber wore a fresh and tasteful ap-
pearance this morning. The floors and
galleries were pewly carpeted, and the
desks glistened in their coat of varnisb,
the odor of which mingled family with
that of the boquets and gorgeous floral
devices which enlivened the picture.
The desks of great many senators, and
that of the president of the senate. we're
elaborously adorned with flowers In
various unique and tasteful forms.
Senators began TO arrive and take
their seats before II O'Clock, Senators
Stewart ard Hiscock being the first
corners. For an hour before noon the
floor was a busy scene, members of
both parties, their friends andthe offic
ers were taking this occasion to ex-
change greetings and compare notes.
The chief topic of conversation with
most OF those on hand was the prospect
of a conflict oyer the admission Of Ger
tain democratic senators-elect, and it
early became known that the republl-
cans. in default of any caucus plan of
action, had concluded to follow the
lead of their members OF the committee
on privileges and elections, These had
been in Informal consultation, it was
understood, and had reached the con-
clusion to make no opposition to the
admission of Mr.. Turpie, OF Indiana,
but to object to the admission of Mr..
Faulkner, of West Virginia, on the
GROUND that there were conflicting cre-
dentials from that state. The general
opinion was that there would be no
deadlock, and that the course OF OPEN
ing pr oceedings. would not be broken.
The galleries were early crowded to
overfowing. Mrs. Cleveland, clad in
custom of dark green, with Mrs,
Glider, Mrs. Kingsford and several
other ladies, occupied the seats reserved
for the family of the president in one
of the private galleries.
The diplomatic gallery was filled by
members of the various legations. the
front seat being occupied by the Chi
nese minister, his secretaries and asso-
ciates. The minister wore maghifi
cent robe of light blue satin and his
companions were clad as richly, though
in more subdued colors.

pened with prayer by. the chaplain, the

Chicago's Rebellious!!knights Trying
to Organize Another Order OF

CHICAGO, Dec .2.-The chief movers
in the attempt TO organize another
order of Knights Of Labor have issued
n circular addressed To the local assem-
blies Of the Knights of Labor in Cook
county, requesting them TO cooperate
in reorganizing the order on an honest
aud substantial basis. The plan Is fol-
each assembly to refuse to pay further
tribute TO the general assembly unless
an itemized account OF the receipts and
expenditures of the general assembly be
presented to the local assemblies. The
circular Is sent out from the headquart
ers OF the provisional committee, of
which Charles F. Seib is secretary. In
the preamble the members Of the com
mittee say that they wish 10 sever their
connection with the order, because they

Following this all sorts of charges are
made against the general officers and

of which care nothing for workingmen.

PENNSYLVANIA LABOR TROUB-

The Lehigh Strikers Have Issued an
Appeal to the Public for Aid.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-The com.
mittee on appeal Of the striking Lehigh
Valley coal miners Sunday night issued
an appeal to the public in which they
relate at length the history of the many
efforts of the miners during the past
two years, TO secure arbitration on their
demands for increased wages and the
positive refusal OF the operators to
grant the requests for a conference.
They state that the officials Of the
Philadelphia and Reading coal and iron
company met the representatives OF the
employees Of that company and the re-
suit was a satisfactory compromise by
which the miners received an advance
Of eight per cent. In conclusion, the
address says:
During all this time the operators
of the Middle Lehigh region, the Lehigh
coal and navigation company, the Le-
high Valley company and the Mineral
Mining company refused to meet com
mittee appointed by organized lanor,
and resisted any claim made To an ad-
vance. All efforts to arbitrate the
question on the part of the miners
proved useless, and the public symp-
athy Is now appealed to interfere In be-
half of suffering labor.
